Point of order. It has been brought to my attention by **lurkernomore** that my posts in this thread are ambiguous. He’s right. It’s not clear at whom they are directed. They are directed at **JohhnyIsGood** for these remarks. > [@](#): > > Do you see anyone mourning the tragic loss you pose to this thread (or even slightly dissapointed)? No? Didn’t think so either… > > If this is so beneath you I’d hope you wouldn’t bother posting here but alas, you grant us no such satisfaction. > > By the way, don’t bother replying, wouldn’t want to hijack a fine flirting thread for those who enjoy such, in particular with your litter, and besides you are so not worth it. Sorry for the confusion folks. It is totally my fault. Carry on. ---

Ginger, ``` Remember the two most important Spanish phrases: ``` Mas cerveza, por favor! Donde esta el bano?

A girlfriend of mine moved to Texas and was warmly welcomed until she invited some ladies to her house, addressing the group as “You guys”. She could feel the temperature drop, but one woman was enlightened enough to pull her aside and explain the dreadful social error committed. \*\* Watermelon Man,\*\* your offer pleases me. ---

**Vestal Blue** , I do declare I am blushing. **lurker** , thanks for the lesson! If I recall correctly, that is guaranteed to keep me drinkin beer and finding the loo wherever I go. Takes the pressure off of poor old UncleBill - who will be absent from this evening’s flirting - and whoever wants to guide me around the wilds of the US and Mexico. Or Cuba! Hey, I’m not fussy! ---

To answer the OP, while I love the flirt threads, I agree there don’t necessarily need to be more of them, just a steady one or two now and then. As to who I’d like to see in them, well, just about anyone. There are so many male and female flirters who have certainly taught this gal a thing or two. Some of my favorites are: **VB** - who really knows his way around and is sooooo romantic too. _swoons_ Not to mention a serious hunk in person. [sup]\[/sup] **lurker** -who is such a sweetie and can turn a phrase just so. **dpr** -my aussie buddy. I’ve missed flirting with you. **Ogre** -who gives great hugs too. \ I’d like to list many of the **mods** too, but I don’t want anyone to get jealous, so I’ll just admire them from afar, like I usually do. Oh, dear. So many men, so little time. **NothingMan** used to flirt with me too, but hasn’t for some time now. _pout_ So, here I am, alone for the evening, so to speak. Ready for some serious flirting. \< just don’t tell MrBear ;)\> ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by lurkernomore \* > \*\*Ginger, Remember the two most important Spanish phrases: > > Mas cerveza, por favor! > Donde esta el bano?\*\* I beg to differ. The most important Spanish phrase is _Sientate en mi cara y meneate_. And **Silly Rabbit**. You threw the silliness in there so now no one will believe you about my voice. (Which, for the record, I don’t see anythign special about, but I’m always agreeable to some ego boosting). And when was the last time I went off on a baseball tangent? It’s been at least 3 or 4 conversations ago. That’s a record for me. ---
